Mindglobal
Telecom Expense Management Specialist

Regardless of the industry, optimizing business processes, maximizing resource availability, and minimizing risk play a crucial part in a company's long-term success. But still, it's a gospel truth that a major part of it boils down to curtailing costs, which have a significant impact on virtually every company's bottom line. Especially, in a time when organizations are adjusting to the long-term effects of COVID-19, consumption of telecom services and controlling its cost remains to be a massive challenge. As a result, companies often end up overspending on mobile device management, wireless services, overlapping telephone networks, and numerous other services. Given the current business climate wherein work from home is the new norm, and ensuring robust internet network security and connectivity is undoubtedly a necessity—TEM (Telecom Expense Management) has become a sought-after solution. This is where Mindglobal excels.

Unlike its competitors, Mindglobal focuses on conducting monthly rate-plan reviews and modifications, which involve in-depth analysis of data around managing the contracts with the carriers, devices, associated billing, and other expenses. Through statistical predictive analysis, the company is able to predict the estimated expense for the next month and then accordingly modifies plans to save money for the client. “We have high level technicians and engineers that are continually working to not only develop our software but also our processes from a cost savings modelling perspective. Our service level agreements and average savings for customers on an ongoing basis are our biggest differentiators,” emphasizes Whitehurst. With its technology, experienced analysts, and customer support desk, the company is able to handle any issues instantly and provide the best possible service to clients.

Steering ahead, as bringing large volumes of telecom data from fixed, mobile, and cloud into a portal is a very complex and arduous task for developers and analysts, the company plans to leverage machine learning and AI within its data mapping and analysis tools. "We're really stepping into technologies around speech recognition to have natural conversations with the help desk end-user and certainly are pushing the limits to be the first in the market in handling those in a way that is defined to help the client in the best possible way," states Whitehurst. Besides, in order to better serve its customers, the company is continually improving its software capabilities and keeps on adding new features. "We are heavily investing in the R&D of how we operate as we believe it's critical to differentiate ourselves in the future," concludes Whitehurst.
